Oaxaca and Monte Alban, Mexico. The White Mountain

Description

Inhabited over a period of 1,500 years by a succession of peoples—Olmecs, Zapotecs and Mixtecs—the terraces, dams, canals, pyramids and artificial mounds of Monte Alban were literally carved out of the mountain and are the symbols of a sacred topography. Nearby, the checkerboard design of Oaxaca is a good example of Spanish colonial architecture.
